Gucci Handbags - The Ultimate Women's Fashion Accessory

Over its 90 year history, Gucci has had an unruly history. And yet has it has continued to grow as one of the most powerful fashion labels across the world.

Continuous in-fighting afflicted the company from day one and this was finally ended when Maurizio Gucci took sole control of Gucci in the 1980's.

But come the 1990's and the company was in financial trouble. Maurizo was forced to sell his stake in Gucci which set off a fight over the company by a range of interest groups. Once the dust had settled, Gucci was finally able to focus on its core business of fashion.

In 2007, Gucci produced over $7.5 billion in revenue.
